Class meter - **1/2 (For some stylishly shot sequences)
Dhoom 2 - While watching this movie you will learn -
*How lack of story can be overcome by shooting some reels of your movie in slo-mo for most of the sequence ?
*How, some frames of Bipasha in bikini can numb the senses of logic and rational seeking male audience thereby giving the movie 3 Star rating :-)?
*How, many a frames of Hrithik can create a similar effect on the opposite sex and male audience alike ?
*How college reunions can have perfectly choreographed salsa for celebration and none from the crowd looking as if he/she ever visited a college ?
*How Mu Po (Mumbai Police) which is yet to complete the CCTV installation in mumbai completely , can suddenly function like NYPD / LAPD, albeit more caricaturist and amateurish (..talk about MUM to SHANGHAI dreams) ?
*Whatever Uday Chopra does, no one will take him seriously as an actor?
*That Hrithik is really the god of great dancing and good looks.
*How ASH can look like a fake bronze anorexic babe , hailing from (hold your breath)...Andheri ? *Why the actors were made to sign a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) for not revealing the story (of course no story, lead to no revealing) ?
*...And the female actors had to sign the MEC (Maximum Exposure Contract ) :-))
*How Jr AB can be reduced to playing a sidekick, thanks to the splendid screen presence of Hrithik ?
*How a thief can go scot free and run a BAR in Fiji Island, if he is legally dead as per Mu Po records?
And the last learning is
Why script / screenplay is so important for movie making ? The tag line of the movie did claim `Back in Action' but forgot to mention `Lack In Content' !
Requires a great deal suspension of disbelief, to watch this movie ! Searching for plausibility and logic in this movie is akin to searching for Osama in US under the table of G W Bush, but then pray tell me which last hindi movie you have seen which was logical / plausible discounting parallel cinema ?!!
Action sequences have been picturised very stylishly (Courtesy Vic Armstrong - Hollywood and Allan Amin ), the kind never before seen on Hindi Cinema, but the so called CON / HEIST sequences really will CON the living daylights of the audience and wish the director / writer would not have treated the audience as nincompoops.
Enjoy D2 while it lasts and pray that if at all D3 comes, the production house invests in good creative writers.
